BackX has shown to reduce the load on the wearer's lower back (L5/S1 disc) by an average of 60 % when bending, lifting objects, stooping or reaching.
Everything you need to know about the features and benefits of the Exoskeleton BackX from SuitX without battery for heavy carrying need to know.
backX's core support technology reduces stress on the lower back, making it a leader in the field of back exoskeletons. backX is a leader in the field of back exoskeletons with its core support technology and offers the most comprehensive standard features of any back exoskeleton.
Reducing the load on the muscles of the lower back can reduce the compressive force around the L5-S1 vertebra, which reduces the risk of back injury and increases the wearer's endurance.
Intelligent mode:
Maximizes mobility while wearing the device, allowing the user to walk freely, climb and descend stairs, and use work vehicles while providing protection when it is needed most.
Instant mode:
Supports the user's back in any posture.
Light weight:
The device weighs 7.2lbs/3.2kg
Size:
There is one size fits all.
A standard frame can be adjusted to fit a wide range of body sizes, chest depths and waist sizes.
It has no batteries.
A passive design enables improved robustness, lower cost and minimal maintenance.
Minimal maintenance required. Modular design allows quick replacement of parts and components.
Soft and breathable harness and minimal contact points maximize comfort.
Designed for use in confined spaces.
Extremely easy to put on and take off the device. Four quick-release fasteners.
Works with tool belts and can be worn with reflective vests, Tyvek suits and work jackets.
The strength of the support can be quickly changed by the user with tools.
backX is compatible with shoulderX and legX. The modules can be combined into 7 different exoskeletons to provide an individual solution for every task.
Designed to withstand harsh environments.
The separate architecture of the frame and harness allows multiple users to share a universal frame, minimizing costs.
Significant reduction in back muscle strength:
A recent study conducted by researchers at U.C. Berkeley and U.C. San Francisco showed an average 60% reduction in EMG muscle activity at four of the most injury-prone muscle groups in the low back.
In eight subjects tested both with and without backX, electrodes were placed over four erector spinae muscle groups.
SuitX was acquired and further developed by Ottobock in 2021. SuitX has raised a total of $7.1 million in 4 rounds of financing. The most recent funding was on May 11, 2021 in a Venture - Series Unknown round. SuitX is funded by 2 investors. Wistron Corporation and National Science Foundation are the most recent investors.
